"It's just a chat" is the most dangerous sentence in AI. In this episode of Pop Goes the Stack, F5's Lori MacVittie and Joel Moses are joined by data science expert Scott Hendrickson to break down why AI has the surface area of the sun—it touches search, analytics, SEO tags, ad tech, APIs, logs, and all the integrations people forget are even there.

That’s the danger: as AI spreads across the stack, the privacy + compliance surface area explodes. What feels like a private conversation can get captured, logged, shared, or even indexed—not because of a hack, but because an old SEO/analytics integration “helpfully” records whatever shows up in a box…including chat.

Listen in to learn how SEO/tag managers can ingest entire chat transcripts, why conversational UX breaks "transactional web" assumptions, who may end up seeing your "private" context, and actionable steps to protect AI privacy.
